Leviticus 19
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 'Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.
“Uza gulu lonse la Aisraeli kuti, ‘Khalani oyera mtima chifukwa Ine, Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndine Woyera.
3 'Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.
“‘Aliyense mwa inu azilemekeza abambo ake ndi amayi ake. Ndipo muzisunga masabata anga. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
4 'Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.
“‘Musatembenukire ku mafano kapena kudzipangira nokha milungu ya zitsulo zosungunula. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
5 'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;
“‘Pamene mukupereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, muyipereke mwanjira yoti ilandiridwe.
6 in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,
Nsembe izidyedwa tsiku lomwe mwayiperekalo kapena mmawa mwake. Chilichonse chotsala mpaka tsiku lachitatu chiyenera kutenthedwa.
7 and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,
Ngati mudya choperekacho tsiku lachitatu, ndiye kuti mwachita chonyansa ndipo chakudyacho sichidzalandiridwa.
8 and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.
Munthu aliyense amene adya chakudyacho adzasenza machimo ake chifukwa wayipitsa chinthu chimene ndi choyera kwa Yehova. Munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.
9 'And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,
“‘Pamene mukolola zinthu mʼmunda mwanu musakolole mpaka mʼmphepete mwa munda, ndipo musatole khunkha lake.
10 and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Musakolole mphesa zonse mʼmunda wanu wa mpesa kapena kutola mphesa zakugwa mʼmundamo. Zimenezi muzisiyire anthu osauka ndi alendo. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wako.
11 'Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.
“‘Musabe. “‘Musamanamizane. “‘Musachitirane zinthu mwachinyengo.
12 'And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Musalumbire mʼdzina langa monyenga popeza kutero ndi kuyipitsa dzina la Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
13 'Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.
“‘Musapsinje mnzanu kapena kumulanda zinthu zake. “‘Musasunge malipiro a munthu wantchito usiku wonse mpaka mmawa.
14 'Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Musatemberere wosamva kapena kuyikira munthu wosaona chinthu choti apunthwe nacho patsogolo pake, koma muziopa Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
15 'Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.
“‘Musamaweruze mopanda chilungamo. Musachite tsankho pakati pa osauka ndi olemera, koma muweruze mlandu wa mnzanu mwachilungamo.
16 'Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Musamapite uku ndi uku kunena bodza pakati pa anthu anu. “‘Musachite kanthu kalikonse kamene kangadzetse imfa kwa mnzanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
17 'Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.
“‘Musamude mʼbale wanu mu mtima mwanu. Koma mudzudzuleni mnzanu moona mtima kuti musakhale wolakwa.
18 'Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Musamubwezere mnzanu choyipa kapena kumusungira kanthu kunkhosi, koma konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini. Ine ndine Yehova.
19 'My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.
“‘Muzisunga malangizo anga. “‘Tsono musamalole kuti ngʼombe zanu zikwerane ndi chiweto cha mtundu wina. “‘Ndiponso musamadzale mbewu za mitundu iwiri mʼmunda umodzi. “‘Musavale chovala chopangidwa ndi nsalu za mitundu iwiri.
20 'And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.
“‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi kapolo wamkazi amene wafunsidwa mbeta ndi munthu wina, koma sanawomboledwe kapenanso kulandira ufulu wake, alangidwe. Koma onsewa asaphedwe, chifukwa mkaziyo anali asanalandire ufulu wake.
21 'And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,
Koma mwamunayo abwere ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kwa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Nsembe yake ikhale nkhosa yayimuna
22 and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.
ndipo wansembe achite nayo mwambo wopepesera chifukwa cha kupalamula kumene anachita pamaso pa Yehova. Akatero tchimo lake lidzakhululukidwa.
23 'And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,
“‘Mukadzalowa mʼdzikomo ndi kudzala mtengo wa mtundu uliwonse wa zipatso, zipatso zakezo mudzaziyese ngati zodetsedwa. Ndiye kuti kwa zaka zitatu zidzakhale zoletsedwa kwa inu. Musadzazidye nthawi imeneyi.
24 and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.
Chaka chachinayi, zipatso zake zonse zidzakhala zopatulika, ndipo zidzakhala chopereka cha matamando kwa Yehova.
25 And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Koma chaka chachisanu, mudzatha kudya zipatso zake kuti mitengoyo idzakubalireni zochuluka. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
26 'Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.
“‘Musadye nyama ya magazi. “‘Musamawombeze kapena kuchita zamatsenga.
27 'Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.
“‘Musamamete mduliro kapena kumeta mʼmphepete mwa ndevu zanu.
28 'And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Musadzichekecheke pathupi panu chifukwa cha munthu wakufa kapena kudzitema mphini pa thupi lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
29 'Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.
“‘Musamuyipitse mwana wanu wamkazi pomusandutsa mkazi wachiwerewere. Mukatero dziko lidzasanduka la anthu achiwerewere ndi lodzaza ndi zoyipa.
30 'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Muzisunga Masabata anga ndipo muzilemekeza malo anga opatulika. Ine ndine Yehova.
31 'Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
“‘Musamapite kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, kapena kwa owombeza. Musamawafunefune kuti angakuyipitseni. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
32 'At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
“‘Muzikhala mwa ulemu pamaso pa munthu wachikulire, ndipo muzichitira ulemu munthu wokalamba. Kumeneko ndiye kuopa Mulungu wanu. Ine ndine Yehova.
33 'And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him;
“‘Pamene mlendo akhala nanu mʼdziko mwanu, musamuzunze.
34 as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Mlendo amene akhala nanu akhale ngati mmodzi mwa mbadwa zanu. Mumukonde monga momwe mumadzikondera inu nomwe. Paja inu munali alendo mʼdziko la Igupto. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
35 'Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;
“‘Musamachite za chinyengo poweruza mlandu, kapena poyeza utali, kulemera ngakhalenso kuchuluka kwa zinthu.
36 righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Miyeso ya sikelo, miyeso yoyezera kulemera kwa zinthu, miyeso yotchedwa efa ndi miyeso yotchedwa hini zikhale zolungama. Ine ndine Yehova, Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani ku dziko la Igupto.
37 and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.'
“‘Choncho muzisunga malangizo ndi malamulo angawa ndi kuwatsatira. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
